The Continental O-470 engine is a family of carbureted and fuel-injected six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled aircraft engines that were developed especially for use in light aircraft by Continental Motors. Engines designated "IO" are fuel-injected.
The 1954 model year introduced a 225 hp (168 kW) O-470-J engine and interior refinements. 1956 introduced a 230 hp (172 kW) O-470-K engine with a new air intake duct. Certified on 23 December 1952. 641 (1953), 620 (1954), 891 (1955), and 512 (1956) built. [5] [6] A 1957 Cessna on display at Hullavington Airfield, England. 180A
The main difference between the two aircraft is the larger vertical fin on the 185 and the 300 hp (224 kW) Continental IO-520-D engine as opposed to the 230 hp (172 kW) Continental O-470-S fitted to the Cessna 180. The exception was that a Continental Motors IO-470-F engine of 260 hp (194 kW) was initially fitted until midway through the 1966 ...
The Cessna 188 borrowed heavily from the Cessna 180, the initial version using the same tail cone and fin structure as well as the same Continental O-470-R 230 hp (170 kW) powerplant. The 188's airframe is predominantly built from 2024-T3 aluminum, with the chemical hopper constructed from fiberglass. The fuselage is of semi-monocoque ...

The Model 343 was renamed to Model 187 in 1968 after its intended powerplant was changed from the 240 hp (180 kW) Continental GIO-336 to the Continental O-470. [1] Construction of the first prototype began in early 1968. Only one flying aircraft, with serial number 666 and tail number N7167C, was completed. [1]
Wheel fairings, which were previously exclusive to the deluxe Skyhawk model, were made standard of the 182E. Power was provided by a 230 hp (172 kW) Continental O-470-R piston engine and gross weight was increased to 2,800 lb (1,270 kg). Certified on 27 June 1961. 826 built. [3] [8] [10] 182F
Work on a potential replacement for the Cessna 195 began in 1949. The resulting in the Model X210 was similar to the 195, sharing the latter's basic design and conventional landing gear configuration, but was powered by a 240 hp (179 kW) Continental O-470 flat-six engine mounted on a redesigned forward fuselage.
